The Trouble with Harry is a rare Hitchcock comedy that has divided many watchers. While I don't think its one of his best movies, it certainly is not a bad one. Visually I love the look of the film and the technicolour is amazing. Theirs real charm with the whole cast. The script I thought was pretty impressive, it was tightly written and the quirky characters really fit into the world. For a black comedy, I thought it was more light-hearted than maybe some others. The plot was intriguing enough for me and the witty dialogue worked well within the story. While the actual mystery of who killed Harry is not the centre of attention here, it did create some good moments where each believe they have done it. Seeing them bury him and dig him up several times I actually thought worked well as the running gag and didn't get tiresome for me. For a Hitchcock film, the movie does lack a lot of suspense that he is known for. I never fault like they were in any danger of getting caught and facing punishment. Their was a few moments near the end that with the Deputy Sheriff, but it never mounted to much. I do wish they ramped that up a bit more throughout. This was not a laugh out loud comedy, and while some jokes were hit and miss, I was never bored watching the movie. While the film consists of a lot of talking, the sharp script and fine performances kept me engaged enough to have a good time with this one.
